Broiled Arctic Char With Marinated Cucumber And Radish Salad Recipes

BROILED ARCTIC CHAR WITH CITRUS SAUCE

Steps:

• Position a rack 3 inches from the broiler. Preheat the broiler to high.
• Slice off the ends of each Orange (4) and the Lemon (1). Squeeze the juice out of those ends into a medium bowl. Discard the rind. Stand each piece of fruit on one of its cut sides. Run a knife down the side of each orange and the lemon to remove the skin.
• Squeeze the juice out of those skins into the bowl, then discard. Remove each citrus segment by running a knife down the side of each membrane and slicing the segment out. Drop it into the bowl of juice.
• Once all of the segments are removed, squeeze the remaining membranes into the bowl to extract the juice.
• Pour 1 tablespoon of the juice from the bowl of citrus segments into a large bowl. Add Honey (1 tablespoon) and 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil (3 tablespoon). Whisk to combine.
• Add Arctic Char Fillet (4) and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pour the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil into the bowl with the citrus segments. Add the Fresh Chives (2 tablespoon) and Sea Salt Flakes (1 pinch). Stir to combine. Taste. It should taste similar to a salad dressing with perhaps less of a bite.
• Rub a sizzle pan or sheet pan or broiler pan lightly with Neutral Oil (as needed). Remove fillets from marinade, letting excess drip off-no need to pat dry. Discard excess marinade.
• Place the char fillets skin side down in the pan. Season the flesh with Sea Salt Flakes (to taste). Place a sheet pan upside down on the rack, then place the pan with the fillets in it on top. Broil 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven and immediately transfer fillets to a serving platter. Spoon sauce over top. Pass extra sauce on the side.

Steps:

• To make the Arctic Char: Thinly slice the Arctic char into 1/4-inch thick slices and rub them with kosher salt. In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and ginger. Put the arctic char in the vinegar mix and refrigerate for 1 hour.

BROILED ARCTIC CHAR WITH BASIL SAUCE AND TOMATO

Steps:

• Blanch basil in a 1-quart saucepan of boiling water 15 seconds, then transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking. Squeeze excess liquid from basil and purée in a blender with garlic, salt, and 3 tablespoons oil.
• Preheat broiler. Line rack of a small broiler pan with foil, then oil foil.
• Stir together brown sugar and vinegar until sugar is dissolved, then overlap tomato slices on a large plate and drizzle with vinegar mixture. Season with salt.
• Put fish, skin side down, on pan, then season with salt and pepper and drizzle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Broil fish about 3 inches from heat (without turning) until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Put fish on top of tomatoes and spoon basil sauce on top. Serve with lemon.

GRILLED CHILE-LIME ARCTIC CHAR

Steps:

• Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using a large heavy knife.
• Stir together garlic paste, lime juice, oil, sugar, and chipotle chile in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Remove any bones from fish with tweezers, then pat fish dry and place, skin side down, on a plastic-wrap-lined large tray.
• Rub chile mixture all over flesh side of fish, then wrap plastic around fish and marinate at cool room temperature 15 minutes.
• While fish is marinating, prepare grill for cooking over indirect heat with medium-hot charcoal (moderately high heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure
• To cook fish using a charcoal grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then put fish, skin side down, on grill rack with no coals underneath and grill, covered with lid, 4 minutes. Using 2 metal spatulas, loosen fish from grill rack and turn fish over, rotating 180 degrees. Grill fish, covered with lid, until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more, then loosen from grill rack with spatulas and transfer to a clean platter. If desired, lift skin from fish with tongs and cook skin on rack directly over coals, turning over occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then serve over fish.
• To cook fish using a gas grill: Lightly oil grill rack, then put fish, skin side down, on rack above shut-off burner and grill, covered with lid, 4 minutes. Using 2 metal spatulas, loosen skin from grill rack and turn fish over. Grill fish, covered with lid, until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes more, then loosen from grill rack with spatulas and transfer to a clean platter.
• If desired, lift skin from fish with tongs and cook skin directly over a burner, uncovered, turning over occasionally, until lightly browned and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes, then serve over fish.

GRILLED ARCTIC CHAR

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
• Using a sharp knife, make two vertical slices through the skin of fish fillets, taking care not to cut the flesh; season with sea salt and pepper.
• Place fillets on grill, skin-side down, and grill until skin is crisp and fish is almost cooked through, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn fish and continue grilling until cooked through, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle fish with Maldon sea salt and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

GRILLED ARCTIC CHAR WITH HORSERADISH CREMA

Steps:

• Make the horseradish crema: Peel horseradish with a vegetable peeler and coarsely grate. Combine grated horseradish with sour cream, Dijon, chives and dill in a medium bowl and mix well. Season crema with lemon juice and salt to taste. (Crema can be made in advance; chill until you are ready to serve.)
• Heat grill to medium-high heat if you are using gas; if you have a charcoal grill, you want a nice hot bed of coals.
• Coat fish well with olive oil and season with salt. Set fish on the grill skin side down and cook, covered, until the flesh of the fish begins to turn opaque and the skin is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Use a grill spatula to carefully flip the fish and finish cooking to medium, about 2 minutes more.
• Spread horseradish crema on a serving platter or individual plates and place cooked fish on top with the skin side up. Garnish with dill and lemon wedges. Serve extra crema on the side.
